Did you know that there are more than 200 squirrel species worldwide?

Tree squirrels live mostly among trees, as opposed to those that live in burrows in the ground or among rocks. Squirrels’ diets consist primarily of a wide variety of plants, including nuts, seeds, conifer cones, fruits, fungi, and green vegetation. Tree squirrels don’t hibernate in winter, instead relying on caches of acorns and other nuts they buried earlier in the year.
